Potential Risks

2. Automotive Industry Volatility Risk: The company’s business is highly tied to vehicle production and sales. If the macro economy or consumer demand declines, it will directly impact order volume and revenue.

3. Technology R&D Risk: The lighting industry is rapidly evolving toward intelligence and electronics. If the company’s R&D direction lags industry trends or new business technologies do not meet expectations, it may affect market competitiveness.

4. Customer Concentration Risk: The top five customers account for 64.70% of annual sales. If major customers reduce demand or are lost, it could significantly impact company performance.

5. Gross Margin Decline Risk: Increased competition in the vehicle market may transmit cost pressures downward. If the company cannot maintain gross margin through technological upgrades or scale effects, profitability may shrink.

6. Operational Management Risk: As assets and scale expand, managing cross-region operations, talent development, and resource integration becomes more challenging. If management capabilities do not keep pace, operational efficiency could be affected.
